Bad Reputation

Freedy Johnston



I know I got a bad reputation

and it isn't just talk, talk, talk

If I could only give you everything

You know I haven't got



I couldn't have one conversation

If it wasn't for the lies, lies, lies

And still I ought to tell you everything

'till I close my eyes



Suddenly I'm on the street

Seven years disappear below my feet

Been breaking down

Do you want me now?

Do you want me now?



Suddenly I'm down in Harold's Square

Looking in the crowd, your face is everywhere

Been turning around

Do you want me now?

Do you want me now?



Don't try to be an inspiriation

Just wasting your time, time, time

You know about the best I'll ever be

See it in your eyes



I know I got a bad reputation

and it isn't just talk, talk, talk

If I could only give you everything

You know I haven't got



Suddenly I'm on the street

Seven years disappear below my feet

Been breaking down

Do you want me now?

Do you want me now?



Suddenly I'm in another place

Looking in the crowd I think I see your face

Been turning around

Do you want me now?

Do you want me now?

(Down, Down, down)

Do you want me now?

Do you want me now?

(Down, Down, down)

Do you want me now?

Do you want me now?

(Down, Down, down)



Don't you think I've heard the talk?

Nobody's going to tell me who to love

Been breaking down

Do you want me now?

Do you want me now?



Suddenly I'm down in Harold's Square

Looking in the crowd, your face is everywhere

Just turning around

Do you want me now?

Do you want me now?

Been breaking down

Do you want me now?

Do you want me now?

I'm just breaking down, down, down, down

Been breaking down, down, down

Been breaking down, down, down
